I thought of some activities I could do that would have me meeting some people I might not elsewhere (tennis, canoeing club, shooting hoops, starting a neighborhood garden). It's still a little bit cold out, so I can't do a whole lot with this yet, but the garden idea in particular has me busy during my free time and not thinking so much about all this other nonsense. These are all things I've been toying with getting back to anyway. And the physical exercise should be good for me too- I ride my bike to commute and do some yoga, but these are more involved activities.
